Start-Up and Maintenance Services
Quality Electrical Expertise and Maintenance
Keep your power systems running safely and efficiently with continual maintenance and testing from our professional technicians and electrical specialists. No matter the size of your industrial facility, the trusted maintenance partners at Enkompass are dedicated to ensuring that your power systems remain online and operational.
Pole and Substation Maintenance
Pole switches are subject to the elements and require regular inspection and maintenance. Current carrying contacts can be accessed and cleaned for debris, carbon tracing and pitting. All moving parts can be exercised and lubricated to deliver proper surface contact pressure.
Breaker and Switch Maintenance
Good overall inspection and cleaning of the internal components can be achieved during a brief shutdown. Understanding the importance of contact resistance, insulation resistance, arc chute/suppressor dissipation factors, proper alignment, pressure, gap and deflection of current carrying contacts puts Enkompass in position to be your ideal service provider for your switching equipment.
High Voltage Cable Testing
High voltage cable testing and cable diagnostic testing is predictive and can help determine the relative degradation level of a cable against its newly manufactured condition. Results can help determine if the cable will continue to perform properly throughout its life expectancy.
Primary and Secondary Injection Testing
Switchboards and circuit breakers are protective devices within power systems that play a role in safeguarding equipment and personnel from catastrophic failures. Primary injection testing involves injecting the actual current required to operate the protective device. It can verify the proper ratio of the sensors and the wiring to the relay element reassuring you that the breaker will see the fault full scale. As primary injection testing is extremely arduous where the breaker interrupts large currents, secondary injection is the preferred method for testing when doing electrical maintenance. Using the specialized test kits specific to each breaker we can test the relay’s functionality; verifying the actuator operates properly and verify the thermal memory, when activated, reduces trip times after having experienced a previous overload condition.
Transformer Oil Sampling
Various internal characteristics can be indirectly evaluated through oil sampling. Using sterile extraction syringes and containers, accurate levels of moisture, dissolved gases and other contaminants can be measured and interpreted. As your transformer ages, its components, insulation and oil can break down leading to catastrophic failure. If a trend is established early enough, life expectancy becomes visible and failures such as off line tap-changers can be repaired or replaced. Oil can be reclaimed, degasified or replaced once the problem has been identified and repaired.
Infrared Thermography
Utilizing sensitive radiometric imaging cameras and software, we can detect thermal anomalies in your electrical distribution system before you suffer a catastrophic failure. All of our technicians are Level 1 and 2 certified.
Protection and Control
Our engineers will minimize the hazards to your employees and equipment, while maximizing your uptime by manipulating your protection settings using coordination, arc flash, and short circuit study results.
Capacitor Bank Maintenance
We can help our clients identify a potential return on investment (ROI) with the use of a capacitor bank(s) within the electrical system. We can provide ongoing maintenance to your new or existing capacitor bank to increase life and reliability of the unit.
Facility Maintenance Program
Our experienced staff will review your facility and provide a detailed report on creating a fully structured proactive and preventative maintenance program.
Equipment Operating Procedures
Purchased some new equipment? Hired some new personnel? Enkompass can review manufacturer operating procedures and merge them with your site specific conditions to allow for optimal human – machine interface. Gaining confidence with hands on experience will give facility operators peace of mind in understanding how everything works.
Health Care Facility Testing
Enkompass provides testing of patient care receptacles, wiring, and panels in Health Care Facilities as per CSA standard Z32.
Grounding Testing
Grounding system testing is an important part of every electrical maintenance plan. Structures with properly grounded electrical systems are critical in the safety of people and equipment, and grounding systems are essential in order to provide an alternative path for electricity in the case of accidental physical contact.
Transformer Maintenance & Commissioning
Transformers are the ‘heart’ of most industrial and commercial facilities. Enkompass offers extensive diagnostic testing, commissioning and inspections to ensure the reliability and early detection of potential failures. Our vast database of new and reconditioned transformers and components can get your plant back up and running quickly after an emergency outage.
